615 cards
This deck is a great starting point if you're new to calisthenics or want to strengthen the theory behind your bodyweight training. The cards walk through the foundational concepts — from basic anatomy and movement patterns to ideas like progressive overload, time under tension, and proprioception — so you understand not just what to do, but why each exercise works the way it does.
It's well suited for beginners building a foundation, as well as more experienced athletes who want to refresh the science and terminology behind their training. Whether you're working toward your first pull-up, refining your hollow body hold, or just curious about how calisthenics compares to traditional weight training, these cards cover the essentials in a focused, digestible way.
Because the material mixes definitions with applied concepts, try answering each card out loud or in your own words before flipping it over. Short, frequent review sessions work best for memorising terminology, while spacing your study over several days will help the more conceptual questions — like the role of the kinetic chain or scapular stability — really sink in. Keep the deck handy alongside your workouts and you'll start noticing how these ideas show up in every rep.
